Lyrics Day Of The Jackal - Lindisfarne

Day Of The Jackal

My name is David, I live in Tel Aviv
I’m twelve years old, People call me Billy the Kid
My brother and my sister, are gone from my side
Lying together, for together they died
Chorus:
Everybody dance, do the berserker
Everybody dance, soldier and worker
Pray to the Lord, We can learn to live together somehow
For the day of the jackal is now.
My name is Ishmail, I live in Beirut
I’m twelve years old, but I know how to shoot
My father and mother, were both refugees
With a gun on their head, they died on their knees
Chorus:
Everybody dance, do the berserker
Everybody dance, soldier and worker
Pray to the Lord, We can learn to live together somehow
For the day of the jackal is now.
My name is God, or Allah if you choose
And I bring you despair, destruction and abuse
I give you your lands, and you name them after me
But you tear them apart, from the desert to the sea.
Chorus:
Everybody dance, do the berserker
Everybody dance, soldier and worker
Pray to the Lord, We can learn to live together somehow
For the day of the jackal is now.
